Big Day for the GOP in Tennessee

Senators, Senators everywhere...

No matter where you live in the Volunteer State, there is likely a Lincoln Day Dinner with a powerful United States Senator within easy driving distance.

The big event taking place in East Tennessee is in Sullivan County, where Senator George Allen will deliver the keynote with U.S. Senate candidates Ed Bryant, Van Hilleary, and Bob Corker also expected to attend. (I know Ed will be there, but I am only going on secondhand information regarding the other two.)

Knox County is also holding their Lincoln Day Dinner, with Senator Saxby Chambliss delivering the keynote. I have a few sources that will be attending this event, as I will be in Kingsport, so I should know if anything noteworthy occurs in Knoxville.

Last but certainly not least is Montgomery County, which should have a good crowd at their Lincoln Day Dinner. Scheduled speakers include Senator Lamar Alexander and Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, along with several members of the Tennessee General Assembly. Also, you can meet Tennessee gubernatorial candidate Raymond Brown, who has advised me that he will be in Clarksville for the event.
